“And They Say That Lightning Never Strikes The Same Place Twice!”
This is an extract from my Autumn Term 2014 'SEN Update'
that was released on 29 August 2014.
that was released on 29 August 2014.

As usual, I like to end my update to share something more personal and like to use it also as an opportunity to share my good news.
If you have read my updates during the past few years, you may recall that in 2011 I was shortlisted by the Law Society for its prestigious ‘Solicitor of the Year (Private Practice)’ Award at its annual Excellence Awards. I didn’t win!
Since then I have received a few awards both professionally, including the first ‘Outstanding Achievement’ Award at the Modern Law Awards and also personally, such as being named an ‘Unsung Hero’ by the charity ‘Jewish Care’ in 2012.
I am delighted now to be able to tell you that I found out a few weeks ago that I have been shortlisted again, for the second time in four years, by the Law Society for its ‘Solicitor of the Year (Private Practice)’ Award, which will be announced in October 2014.
And they say that lightening never strikes the same place twice!
With good wishes
Douglas
